Boston, March 14.-An accident this
morning occurred on the Dedham branch
OF the Boston & Providence railroad be
tween Forest HILL and Roslindale, at Bus
sey Park bridge. The z O'Clock train from
Dedbam, consisting of seven cars
and n baggage car, under charge
OF Conductor Tilden, broke through the
bridge. The engine and three cars went
over safely, but the five Others fell through
the bridge to the road beneath. a distance
OF thirty feet. The last car, which was the
smoker, turned completely over and
struck on top of the Others, all
being crushed almost out of shape.
The latest reports place the
number OF killed at thirty-three and OF
injured at seventy. The bridge is compare
lively a new one, and the accident was caus.
ed by a truck on one OF the cars giving way,
causing the car to strike against the abut-
ment OF the bridge. The smoking car, after
il fell, caught fire, but the fire department
prevented any spread of the flames. Tho
bodies of the dead have all been removed,
and OF the wounded some are at the hos
pital and some have been taken home, so
that IL is very difficult TO obtain their
names and the extent of their injuries.

Important 10 Dakots Lawyers.

Three bills of great Importance to the
legal profession Of the territory became
laws at the late session. The following are
their provisions:
Council bill 1876, introduced by Mr..
Hughes. covers the entire practice on trial
up to the notice Of appeal to the supreme
court. 1t is the California practice as il
exists in that state. The old law was the
California practice in part, and was so in
complete and uncertain in its provisions
that it was very difficult to take a case on
appeal to the supreme court.
Council bill 160, introduced by Mr.. Nc
Gambler, provides for appeals from the dis.
trict to the supreme court. This bill begins
where the former bill leaves off, and is the
Wisconsin practice. 1t is much more sim
pie in its provisions, and much less expen-
sive to iitigants than the old law.
Council bill LAT introduced by Mr. Hughes,
defines the power OF thu Judge Of court in
chambers and validates former orders and
judgments.

What the New Law Prescribes - The Old
Organ zation Discontinued.

BISMARCK, Special, March 1S.-The new
militia law is liable to create a good deal of
comment in the territory when its terms be-
come known. 1t is the most important stat
ute on the subject ever passed In the West,
and some Of its provisions may be found very
difficult to execute. 1t provides for an entire
reorganization of the militia, and under its
terms the present officers and men are prac-
ticSlly mustered out, there being no provis-
ion for their continuance in service pending
the organization of the new guard Follow
ing Is a synopsis Of the law:
1t provides for a battalion Of artillery, bat
TALON OF cavalry, two regiments of infantry, an
a~d1utant generals department., an inspector and
judge advocates department, an engineer an d
ordnance department, a medical department., a
supply department and such stan officers as
may be necessary. If the governor organizes q
brigade he NAV appoint a brigadier general to
command. The battalion of artillery Is 20 con-
sist of two batteries commanded by a major.
Each company is commando by a captain and
company officer. The battalion of cavalry con-
eists OF two troops also commanded by q major.
Infantry regiments consist of ten companies.
Inc chief OF supply is to have the rank Of briga-
dier general andpurchAse all supp esetc. BE.

all the advantages of the older states, and
that they are not required to endure the
hardships and privations of q pioneer in es-

Tagging at EtOn.

Tagging is not easy work at Eton Fags
not only have to wait on their fagmasters
at almost all hours to bring them water and
to look out for their rooms, buJ they even
have to cock for them. All the boys of a
house take their dinner together, but except
ing in two or three houses, where a new rule
has been made, every one has his breakfast
and tea in his own room. And for these
meals the poor Tags are cooks and walters
There is even a kitchen provided for their
special use where they boil water, brew tea
and toast bread. Many heartaches have
there been in those little kitchens. Fancy A
yomgster just out Of the home nursery, you
might say, being set TO making toast when
he knows as little about it as he does about
Latin verses! And yet, take him to task
with all the indignation Of disappointed
hunger and then send him off TO do his
work over again. But he grows hardened
by degrees to this work just as he does to
verse making, and in time can Joke and
laugh as he cooks. And, if while he talks he
forgets his toast and lets it burn, what mat
ter With little experience he learns TO
scrape of the black with a knife.-St.

A sixteen Course Dinner at DcImonico's.
A Managers Career


When Charles Bradlaugh visited this
country the Lotos club gave him dinner.
The feast was eaten in the old club house on
Irving place. 1t was an elaborate affair,
winding its boa constrictor-lke way through
sixteen courses or so, with wine enough TO
float three decker. Opposite me at table
sat then prominent theatrical manager
He was jocular and he was hungry. He
ate his way through the courses and drank
his way down the card with scientific cxacti-
tude. Normally n corpulent man, his dis
tension assumed such proportions as were
alarming 10 behold The elasticity of his
tissues was, | am convinced, tested to the
uttermost point of tension. When | left

dropped in at the Park theatre. After an
act Of Oakley Halls "Crucible," or some
thing equally diverting, went over to the

behind the screen, which separated the res
taurant from the front of the house, called
out; II say, waitnh, neyah mind those
chops; give mo a portah house steak and
mushrooms insteadr"
1t was my theatrical manager; my de-
voUrer OF sixteen courses, with trimmings

watched him, in honest admiration, top

sert Of beef and Burgundy. / had once
heard him estimate the daily expenses Of q
gentleman for meat and drink at $25 and
considered them extravagant. / now won
dered how he could gee enough for such a
ridiculously trifling sum. He got along
with much less before he dropped dead the
other day, for he was the William Stuart Of
whom tho papers had good deal to say the
other morning.

acting manager OF what Is now the Star,
and was then Wallack's theatre. The last
